MineCraft Name Changing

I just thought I would write this quick post to tell you about the new Name Changing feature within Minecraft!

Today, February 4th Mojang allowed Minecraft users to change their usernames. There are a few underlying worries about this that I would like to address:

All banned users will remain banned - Minecraft works using a UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) system to organize it's players therefore when a player is banned they are banned using their UUID and not the username itself. If you don't understand that look at it this way the UUID is the account and the username is the username, the username can always be changed but the account cannot. Therefore don't worry about banning, its all under control!

Donation ranks will remain - As said in the previous post our ranks work on a UUID system as well therefore your donations are linked to your UUID not the username itself so you will always have you rank!

Also, please not that some things might be broken due to name changing. Here's a list of things that might need your attention after you have changed your name:

Fix the signs by recreating them. If you cannot edit your shop, please contact an administrator.
